So you guys just don't care that we have millions of people who don't have health insurance. That's fine.
I think it's embarrassing, but if you guys are OK with it, I'm not going to be able to convince you there's something wrong with it.
You're missing this point, and continue to miss the point even though numerous replies before have made it quite clear: we pay taxes.
Some of us >40% of our income is taken from us. That a large chunk of this already goes to social services like medicare/caid is a foregone conclusion. We already pay for healthcare for others, in addition to the "free" healthcare we provide to those we send bills to, but who never pay.
Additionally, we do have healthcare for all - it's called emergency room + EMTALA. People will get their care. Is it optimal? Hardly. But we as a nation allow a prioritization of our military over other things. The money is there. Don't tax me more, don't regulate me more. BE RESPONSIBLE.
Furthermore, it's possible to have universal healthcare and not have a single payer (e.g. Germany's system). There are elegant solutions for optimizing how we spend money on healthcare. Let's start with the simple things:
1) Cut out useless, bloated admins.
2) Deregulate (the bloated admins in #1 force me to write notes, spend time, and otherwise "treat" patients who don't need treatment.) I'm required to treat the drunk a-hole that comes into my ICU with benzos instead of a beer. He's more likely to go into DTs and die in the hospital. If I just cut the guy loose he'll self medicate for "free." Why does my hospital pay for people (plural) to walk around policing hand washing, not having drinks at a nursing station, etc? Useless. Show me the studies that it improves outcomes. I'll show you the graphs that it's increasing costs, though!
3) Incentivize productivity (like how capitalism automatically does). This is not the government way - ever been to DMV, post office, etc.?
As was pointed out earlier - these same people without health insurance DO have iphones, beer, food, entertainment, cars. We are all faced with decisions in life.
